Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 30, 1907.

Application filed April 18, 1907. Serial No. 368,956,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, I-I'ENRY PERKINS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Casey, in the county of Clark and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Nose-Rings for Animals; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

B designates a coil made of a separate piece of wire which is loosely mounted on the coil A with the ends of said coil projecting parallel to each other and pointed and adapted to hang loosely upon the coil A. The purpose of said coil is to prevent a hog from rooting the ground, the extra coil with the points thereon serving effectually to prevent the same.

If preferred, the coil B may be dispensed with, this being done preferably when the device is used in connection with pigs, but with hogs it is desirable to have 'the extra coil for the purpose of more effectually pre- HENRY PERKINS.
